Possibly More Seriously Wounded Than
at First Thought.


PARIS, Dec. IL.
NJ. Ferry who was shot Saturday is some
what feyerish today. II is feared the wounds
will be an aggrav alton. He spent a fever
ish night but was able TO rise this morning
Received thousands of cards and letters.
Senators and deputies of the old parties cali
ed and signed the register. Aubertine. the
would be assassin is the author of various PAM
phlets and the inventor of several machines.
He made failure, which reduced him To
deep poverty, which embittered his life and
brought on occasional attacks of insanity.
The radical organs declare the man
crank and as political assassination it will
be held inexcusable by the radicals.
The Journal Des Debats and Republique
Franchise charge the demagogue press with
melting Aubertine and demand a new press
law TO modify the act of 1881. Aabertine
promises to reveal the names of his accom-
plices Tuesday if the gang does not attempt
TO assassinate some members of the Royier
cabinet before that day.
Aubertine, when examined by the judge of
instruction, declared that he was an anti-rev-
olutonist and said he was sorry he had not
killed Ferry. He expressed the hope that
the others would be more successful

Ferry not to see Aubertine saying that he
did not like his appearance. Ferry, in talk
ing to friends forgot the warning. when
Ferry reached the lobby Aubertine gave him
a sealed letter. Ferry was reading the letter
when Aubertine fired the shots. Aubertine
sent to Ferry a card of Edward Harve, with
a few words in favor. Aubertine also sent a
slip of paper, on which was pencilled the
following; Lorraine desires a short conver-
sation with you, begs that you come to
see him" The revolver is almost a toy of
No. bore. The third shot grazed Ferry's
temple.
During the examination Aubertine said
''On Tuesday Charles Ferry and Ferren will
be assassinated." In Aubertine's pocket
book was found a note of days program
in which he had written as follows: "When
seized Aubertine shouted, Il am Lorraine;
l have avenged Lorraine and am satisfied"
II shall send in Havre's card that will
bring in a secret agent of Orleane family,
rushing toward me-"
During the session of Congress at Yer
sailles Aubertine intended to shoot Ferry if
the latter was elected president.

REV. HUGH PENTECOsT
Resigns the Passionate of the Bellevue
Avenue Congregational Church.

NEWARK, n. j., Dec. IL.
Rev. Hugh Pentecost this forenoon re-
signed the pastorate of the Bellevue Avenue
Congre gational church. He said he surren-
dered the charge to prevent dissension and
had nothing to regret in his course which had
been a source of spiritual joy to him, his
politics were religion and his sense of the
false position of the church to Christ was
deepened. Opposition to him had been
stupid prejudice. Newspaper reports that
he was in affIuence because he had rich
wife were very foolish.
He had reached the eliminating point
which made it impossible for him to remain
longer with organized orthodox
christianity of any kind.
The address was greeted with applause or
laughter at different points. An independ-
ent church may be established in New York
where Pentecost will preach Sunday morn
ings and another in Newark where he will
speak Sunday evenings.

Possible Identification Of Foster by Mrs
Patten

BANGOR, Dec. IL.
The arrest of two men believed to be con
nected with Plymouth robbery and their i'm
prisonment in Jail here last night, has been
the one topic of conversation here today and
the belief strengthens since the night the
men were arrested. While nothing new
of perhaps direct nature beyond what has
been telegraphed has transpired, some
things have been developed that may prove
important. Young Patten and wife of Ply
mouth, who were in the house at the time of
the robbery, were brought here today and
Mrs. Patten is positive that the younger of
the two men, who gives his name as James
Foster, is the man she saw in her grand
fathers room. day latter he was in Ban
gor, apparently scanning room and taking
in its contents He also answers the de-
scription she gave of him before his arrest.
The Wing learns from authority which it
is not at liberty to divulge but which is re-
garded as reliable, that this man, Foster, as
he calls himself, belongs in New York. He
himself says he was never in this State be-
fore. An examination is set down for Tues
day. 1t is not yet known what line of de-
fense he will pursue, whether he will waive
examination or make fight before the muni-
cipal court Foster is one of the soft-hand-
ed gentry and had on, when arrested, hand
some diamond stud, collar and cuff studs.
